PUTNEY– The Next Stage Arts Project announced that the August 2 Arts Unite Windham event raised more than $8,000 for local social justice organizations, the Root Social Justice Center and the Windham County NAACP. More than $6,700 came through the online portal, and more than $1,500 came through an anonymous donation after the concert.
The Putney-based nonprofit served as lead producer and organizer for the collaboration among seven presenting arts venues in Windham County, resulting in a four-hour extravaganza of music, theater, puppetry, circus arts, and art history.
